n. o. Shelnutt, who was hanged
nearly to death twice in Jackon county,
Georgia, several weeks ago, is now in
Atlanta, and bears testimony to the fact
that death by hanging is perfectly pain

hanging is a most horrible and painful
death, but tell you it is not. There is
no pain about it and q man can die

There was some good logic in the be-
lief of their supernatural power. When man
was created and looked around and above
him through the universe, he soon perceived
there existed few things that were very
rare. Among the rarest of rare things were
precious stones. 1t was quite logical that he
should conclude, because they were before
all things precious, that they had been Gre
ated by supernatural power and were en-
dowed as such with supernatural virtues.

We, in our more developed yet soothing age,
